Parasitology (137)13 2010
Abstract
We investigated what determines the level of taxonomic resolution achieved. Identification of all helminths down to species level was achieved in only one-third of surveys, whereas all taxa were identified at least to genus level in two-thirds of surveys. The species richness of a parasite community...

Abstract
The results from this study showed that the prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis was significantly affected by various behavioural risk factors. The rate of helminthic infection varied significantly with hand washing habits after defeacation (chi2 = 75.77; df= 2; p = 0.001) and with different habi...

Abstract
Intestinal helminthiases are infections in which adult helminths (nematodes, trematodes, cestodes) parasitize the intestine. In Central Europe intestinal helminthiases are usually acquired during travel or are imported by migrants. In contrast, in developing countries, intestinal helminthiases are h...

The stillbirth rate was relatively high in this population (5%). Most of the stillbirths were fresh and 24% were macerated. When compared to women with no malaria, women with malaria had increased risk of stillbirth (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.2-9.3). Other factors associated with stillbirth were severe a...
